wow, still 14k. With that amount of junk change. I don't know if it's worth giving up your current car. Are you trying to save some money or just want a project car for a hobby? I mean, an Rx7 with an ls1. Reminds me of the early days with the nissan 280zx's with a chevy 350 in it.

I want something that will haul.I like the look of the FDs.But I have never been into japanesse performance car mills.Having one with a LS1 that will create a little beast that is lighter than vettes would be awesome.And seeing how I would like to run low12s or high 11s I imagine it is perfectly possible with this.

Yeah, a bunch of the swappers drive theirs regularly, prettymuch problem free.
Only real problem is a cracked oil pan now and again...

I have done the conversion and drive mine all the time , I absolutely love the car. It gets so much attention it ain even funny. I took the best imports trophy on saturday in a local car show. I have 4300 in my rolling chassis (complete in great shape) and 3500 in my 02 LS1 setup with 4l60e tranny will all accesories etc. and another 4000 with hinson for his whole setup. So about 12k in my whole setup and then my labor.
